Restore missing desktop icons in Windows XP or Windows 7

February 5th, 2010

I noticed that all my desktop icons were gone. I thought it was only because my computer was hanging, so I restarted it. After the restart there were still no icons. I’m not the kind of computer user who knows every solution to every small problem so I searched for solutions to what happened.

Fix PNG images with transparency in older Windows Internet Explorer versions

November 16th, 2009

I wonder if this post would still get hits from search engine result pages. So many other web pages feature this fix for IE 5.5 and IE 6 web browser, that the Catzie.net Blog’s entry might just show up on the… 10th page or so. lol.

Anyways, I’m still posting this, in case there are some visitors browsing around who need help with properly displaying the transparency of .PNG images in IE5.5 and IE6. This also helps me easily find the needed code to fix the display. I need it from time to time when I design website layouts. :)

Tip: Most of us are probably using the newer versions of Internet Explorer. I suggest that you download and use the IE Tester. It’s a web browser that lets you see how web pages render in different versions of IE – 5.5, 6, 7, and 8.

I assume that as you read this, you are using Internet Explorer version 5.5, or the version 5.5 tab on the IE Tester.
